Chargers Daily Links: Yay or nay to Julio Jones in the powder blue?

It was all over social media yesterday and you likely live under a rock — or you simply like your self-respect and don’t have a Twitter — if you didn’t see it.

Jeff Schultz, the Falcons beat writer for The Athletic, reported that Atlanta “would like to” trade Julio Jones and proceeded to name a handful of teams that would make sense for a trade. The Chargers were among those teams due to factors such as fit on the team, the franchise being close to “getting over the hump”, and available cap space.

For today’s links post, I wanted to give you all a place to write out your thoughts on this matter. Would this be a good idea? Would you rather pass on a potential trade for Jones? Why or why not?

For what it’s worth, the Falcons are eerily close to being in a full-blown rebuild. If they were to shop Jones, it’d have to be for a hefty haul of draft picks and resources they can use in the post-Jones, post-Matt Ryan era. Would it be worth it for the Chargers to give up future draft picks if it meant kicking off Brandon Staley’s tenure as coach with a BANG! of this magnitude? I’m curious to hear all of your thoughts.

And now for today’s links.
